PLUS PLUS Travel Toys Building Blocks Puzzle Play (Space) – 12 pages with 125 pieces in attached storage, for age 5+
Product description
The essentials
A travel-friendly building set that mixes jigsaw-style puzzles with free-form construction—this PLUS PLUS Travel Toys Space activity pad is aimed at keeping kids busy without spreading pieces all over the car, train, or waiting room.
On paper, it’s the sort of toy that works two ways: you can follow the themed ideas (cohesion helps some children get started), but the set also nudges open-ended play because kids aren’t locked into any single model. The attached storage is a practical detail for journeys, and the pad format suggests it’s designed for shorter sessions rather than a permanent “floor build”.
That said, it’s not a full-size building table in a box. If you’re after something for very complex builds or for younger children who need heavy guidance throughout, it may feel a little limited compared with larger sets.
It also mentions an age range of 5 to 12+, which is a useful clue for expectations: younger kids may enjoy it best with support at first, while older kids can move from the templates to inventing their own scenes.
Key points
The big idea here is imagination on the move. The 12-page activity pad comes with thick puzzle and build instructions across themed 2D puzzles and 3D figures, using 125 pieces that store neatly in the attached compartment. There’s also a “puzzle piece” approach to building, which can help kids think in shapes instead of just stacking.
It leans into space themes—rockets, aliens and stars—so if that’s a current favourite, you’re likely to get better attention span during setup and tidying. The booklet/carrier design also reduces the usual travel problem: fewer loose items to manage.
One practical limitation to keep in mind: because it’s a contained travel format, the play depth is tied to the pages and pieces provided. Kids who love building endlessly with very large quantities may eventually want a bigger, standalone building collection.

What you’ll notice day to day
The pad-and-storage combo is where this set feels most “travel toy” rather than “home toy that happens to fit in a bag”. After a few sessions, you’ll probably appreciate how it supports quick starts—open the folder, pick a page, build—and quick stops—close it and put the pieces away.
A simple example: on a long car ride, a child can start with one themed 2D page, then once that’s done, move to a 3D figure from the same pad. Because the pieces are in one place, you’re less likely to end up with a trail of blocks when you stop for a break.
For parents, the other day-to-day plus is the “not tied to one figure” approach. That matters when kids get bored of repeating a model: they can keep inventing scenes by combining components.
Where it shines
- Worth considering if you want a compact building activity that’s easy to pack and tidy.
- Worth it if your child likes space themes and enjoys puzzles as much as making things.
- A solid pick for family outings where you need something that can work in short bursts.
It may not suit you if you’re trying to replace a big building system. With 125 pieces and a template-led pad format, it’s more about guided creativity than large-scale construction.
Who it’s for
Is it worth it?
This PLUS PLUS Travel Toys Space building blocks puzzle play set is a smart choice if you’re looking for travel-ready creativity: templates for structure, plus enough freedom to invent scenes once the basics are understood. The attached storage is genuinely practical for journeys, and the set’s materials/process notes are useful if you’re conscious about what goes into kids’ toys.
You may want to skip it if you expect a huge building experience or very elaborate 3D models—because it’s designed as a compact activity pad, it’s more “contained, themed play” than “unlimited building playground”. Also, at age 5+, some children may need a bit of help at first to get the hang of the page instructions.
In short: it’s a worthwhile buy for parents who want an imaginative, tidier way to keep kids building while you’re out and about. For anyone who prefers sprawling, piece-heavy construction, you might find yourself reaching for a larger set instead.
Quick FAQ

What age is it aimed at?
The guidance given is for children age 5 plus, with the note that it can also be enjoyed by older kids and adults.
Does it lock children into one model?
No—while pages provide ideas, the description says children aren’t tied to a single figure and can let their creativity run.
Is it free from certain plastics/chemicals?
The manufacturing note states it is free of PVC, BPA and phthalates.
